Charges have yet to be brought against at least six people suspected of corruption as part of the now five-year-long housing investigation because the case has been tied up in the Attorney General’s office.
Despite numerous inquiries into the matter, no answers have been forthcoming from the officials as to the status of the case.
According to a source close to the matter, the AG’s office has had possession of the file for more than a year but prosecutors have yet to act on police recommendations.
Police inquiries began into the Ministry of Housing – which was then under PLP Minister of Housing Neville Wisdom – after The Tribune published allegations by contractors that some government employees were engaged in corrupt practices at the expense of poor home buyers.
